Good Times

After recording their latest album ‘Good Times’ in a home studio over four days, Eagle And The Worm are currently on tour and heading to Brisbane next week.

With ‘Good Times‘ garnering rave reviews, frontman Jarrad Brown puts the positive response down to the group's chemistry.
“You've got to have chemistry otherwise you sound like some dumb bumbling thing that sounds like shit. We are passionate about the right chemistry on a record and on stage.”

It's this passion for chemistry that allowed Eagle And The Worm to record the album in just four days with no rehearsals beforehand.
“I just wanted the chemistry of people and the feeling of discovering the songs and being really excited about playing something fresh. I just wanted people to have a sweet time.”

It seems the laidback approach to recording paid off, with both critics and fans embracing ‘Good Times’ and Brown being pleased with the overall experience.
“It was sweet. Some of the stuff we did probably sounded like shit but I'm not really fussed, I just wanted to have a sweet time in the studio.

“If I was worried about stuff not sounding perfect I probably would have asked everyone to rehearse, but the idea was to get some excitement in the room and have some cool accidents happen and discover some cool things about the songs.
“There's a lot of different sounds on the record, I was getting so bored with listening to guitar, bass and drums bands,” he says. “I wanted beautiful sounds in music; there are so many different sounds out there to use and be expressive with and there's a lot of that on the record.”

With the band currently delivering their music to the country, Brown and his fellow band mates are enjoying the opportunity to tour together.
“I don't know if it's a honeymoon period but we all get along so well, and we all have a pretty good time on the road. A few days to hang out with eight of your friends and play a couple of shows is pretty fucking awesome.”

Eagle And The Worm play a free show at the Elephant & the Wheelbarrow Sep 8; they also play a BIGSOUND set on the same night. ‘Good Times’  is out now.
